Popis: The cause of aging society is the significant prolongation of life expectancy. With the aging process, there is progressive and permanent decrease in functional reserves and deterioration of homeostasis control. [1,2,3,4] By degenerative changes, there is imbalance and hence the frequency of falls, and therefore regular physical activity is important to restore, maintain, and maintain independence. [3,4,5,6] The study was performed by a patient aged 86, 56 kg and a height of 149 cm. Equilibrium assessment was performed using static posturography and the Four Squar Step Test (FSST) before and after a 10-day rehabilitation session under the supervision of a physiotherapist. The results of the exercise were improved in the test and posturography test with open eyes, while deterioration was indicated in the eyes with closed eyes.
